EDITOR GAZETTE Fourth of July-Ameri-
cas- natal day was celebrated here
by the opening Of the Mani Racing
Associations Race Track. The event
proved that the efforts of the promoters, in
their laudIble object OF providing amusement,
as well as stimulating the improvement of
the equine race. was not unappreclated, as
was evidenced by the large concourse of
people who visited the grounds OF the
''Spreckels Park Fully four thousand per-
sons were present, the grand stand being
occupied to its utmost capacity. Owing to
recent showers of rain, the new-made track
became firm and was il better condition than
was expected. The programme provided by
the Executive Committee was . lengthy and
varied one, providing opportunities for all
classes and conditions of animals, and those
gentlemen are to be congratulated upon the
success of their maiden efforts in this direc-
ton. The day proved a most enjoyable one
to all those present. The interest in the con-
Guiding race was equal to that which char
acterized the opening one. The grand stand
was we'll prtronized by the fair sex, and the
interest they evinced in each event must have
alone compensated the promoters of the
Maui Racing Association. The following
